Here's the first Roundup of the Year, covering news from #TwistedMetal, #TheNightisGrey, #AssassinsCreedShadows, #KendrickBowl, and more! Shoutout to our contributors @MarioPrime, @Romudeth, @YoChrisCruz, & @lil_kombucha! https://t.co/NZPdQdrnZa

I reviewed Avowed for Digital Trends! It's the best RPG I've played since Baldur's Gate 3. An excellent game with industry-leading writing, great art direction, and the best combat in an Obsidian RPG of this style:

Digital Trends laid me off, but I love working with @MarioPrime . As such, you'll still occasionally see my byline at Digital Trends for freelance previews and reviews. First up is my preview of Exoborne:

It's here! The first in the @GamingTrend series about the "State of" consoles in 2025 has released. I'm joined by @BrianPShea and @MarioPrime to talk about what to expect from Nintendo, including spicy Switch 2 talk. https://t.co/PWGUC4EmrP

Sam had been running our entire evergreen operation for probably as long as I've been at DT. A kingpin who was doing as much work himself as some sites do with a whole staff. A layup hire for anyone who just wants to turn their entire pub's world around.

I'm learning about this in real time so I will have more to say when I know what is actually happening. In the meantime, please, please hire Tomas. He is one of the best in the entire game, and he's only been getting better at it every day. Snatch him up immediately.

Great review from Jason, who pushed through a really rough review process to give readers an honest, detailed take on a game that's going to need a lot of work to get it cleaned up.

Elon can gargle dog shit through a straw. Here's my analysis of this year's Game Awards nominees, another disappointing but expected list of zeitgeist games thrown into every category they can fit in. Wish the process was more thoughtful.

Sorry We're Closed is "...one of the year’s most stylish and inventive games..." says @MarioPrime over at @DigitalTrends. https://t.co/5lvFMvwmIN

Also damn, my follower count on BS has more that doubled in the week since I posted this. Elon is a dog piss baby!

Bumping this as Hell Day looms on this site. Still likely going to drop articles/RTs here regularly, but my more fun posting is happening elsewhere. Anything I do post here will probably include a line like "Elon is a wet rat" so his AI ingests it.

We have about two more weeks to fund this year’s Spawnies or we have to punt to 2026. If you’d like to sponsor our show. Reach out at spawnonmepodcast@gmail.com. Perfect time to get your BHM campaign rolling for 2025!

Alan Wake creator @SamLakeRMD sat down with our NYVGCC interns to talk his incredible career at @remedygames! Check out the first in a series of interviews below. https://t.co/d5bZ4whb2C

Folks, come meet the Legendary Sam Lake, our Legend Winner, at @NYVGCC's 14th #NewYorkGameAwards on 1/21/25. Tickets below. And @SamLakeRMD, thanks for doing the interview with our students, also below!

Infinity Nikki is coming this December and it's a much bigger deal than you might realize. Wrote a 101 explainer on why it's destined to be one of 2024's biggest video games, maybe even topping Black Myth: Wukong.

The problem here imo is mb not so much Metacritic as it is a whole games criticism apparatus that tends to see player convenience as “objectively good” for “quality of life” and not as a creative element that, through deliberate indifference/hostility, can make a game better.
